"Go back and tell Ma Teng that I'm somewhat tempted by his proposal, but besides that, I want 5,000 top-quality war horses."

"Also, to open up trade between the countries in the Western Regions, I will send out a caravan, and I need him to protect it to ensure that merchants between the two regions can trade safely."

"If he agrees, we can talk about it."

Dong Yu closed his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking.

Trade and commerce will certainly increase the economy.

The reason why the Han Dynasty cut off contacts with the Western Regions in recent years was more because Xiliang was too unstable.

Xiliang is such a poor place, but there are more than a dozen princes, big and small.

Any warlord with only a few thousand men can raise the banner of a region.

"I will tell my lord the general's request truthfully."

Pang De bowed and quickly left Mei County.

After the people left, everyone looked at Dong Yu.

Not long ago, he made a mighty and domineering declaration, saying he would raise an army of 100,000 to fight them. Why is he now...

"Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape."

"That's the situation."

"Everyone, follow me and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. When both tigers are defeated and injured, I will take all their weapons."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Feeling the questioning gazes of the crowd, Dong Yu spoke slowly.

Facts have proved that Xiliang, with its tough folk customs, is definitely an excellent source of soldiers.

Whether it is Han Sui or Ma Teng, the soldiers under their command are rare and powerful soldiers.

If we could accept this gift from nature, it would definitely be a timely help to the Dong family in their current situation.

There is no need to worry about not being able to use these soldiers. They are all from Xiliang, and Dong Zhuo's influence is still there.

As long as he can recruit these soldiers to surrender, he will become a soldier of the Dong family.

...

Ma Teng's actions naturally could not fail to attract Han Sui's attention.

The action of sending people to Mei County twice in a row quickly made Han Sui alert.

"Ma Teng repeatedly sent people to Mei County, clearly intending to ally with Dong Zhuo."

"My lord, we can't drag this on any longer."

Cheng Gongying said with a somewhat nervous look.

"I know."

"In the past few days, I have sent people back to Jincheng."

"I think Jiuer will be brought here soon."

Han Sui nodded, but his expression was very calm.

He has complete confidence in his daughter's beauty.

Loulan is rich in beauties, whose temperament is very different from the gentleness of the women in the Central Plains.

As the saying goes, when you are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, you will find cabbage very delicious occasionally.

Besides, my daughter is not as simple as cabbage.

Marriage has always been a common method and means.

Although everyone knows that marriage alliances are not particularly stable, they really can't think of any other solution.

"Miss Nine is the most beautiful woman in the city. I believe Dong Zhuo's son must be extremely fond of her."

"As for food and fodder, Yan Xing also went to Beidi County to plunder."

"In this way, our army will surely win."

Cheng Gongying smiled and nodded.

The reason why they did not plunder in Sanfu was more because they took the attitude of the Dong family into consideration.

You're robbing people from their territory, and you still want to form an alliance with them?

It’s really not very good.

In desperation, they had no choice but to go to the nearest Beidi County.

Compared with Han Sui's thorough preparations, Ma Teng's side was obviously not well prepared because Ma Chao was in charge before.

It turns out that sometimes, old ginger is still spicy.

Compared with Han Sui, Ma Chao is indeed a little immature.

"In addition, I also sent people to the various counties in Xiliang to see if I could bribe some people to work for me."

"If we can annex the Ma family this time, it will be worth it no matter what the cost."

"By then, I will dominate Xiliang. Even if I don't advance into the Central Plains, I can still enjoy peace in Xiliang."

A smile appeared on Han Sui's lips, as if he had already seen the scene of himself ruling Xiliang.

Han Sui has done everything he can.

After all his calculations, Han Sui should be able to dominate the world, right?

What Han Sui didn't know was that in order to help his son win this battle, Ma Teng almost bet the entire Ma family fortune.

As long as he could preserve the existing power of the Ma family, he even decided to join the Dong family.

This was something that Han Sui found hard to imagine. After all, who would be a good boss and then go work for someone else?
